Allied Data Systems

We have a small number of high quality suppliers whom we represent in Australia (and in some cases New Zealand), Plus we build components and systems, however what separates us from the pack is our ability to understand what you need and to supply a solution that works for you.

Products

ADS has been designing and building products since 1983 for the embedded military and industrial markets. We have an extensive selection of products for a select group of suppliers and along with our own manufactured products we are able to meet most of the needs of our customers. The following provides a description of our main product areas, however we pride ourselves on being able to provide solutions as products on their own are not always the end of the story.

Embedded Computers

Embedded computers are those that perform a set function within a system. As such many systems may have more than one embedded computer. The embedded computer may be anything from a small micro-controller such as a 68HC908 through to a PC based system that is "embedded" into a mechanical platform. For example we built a MIL-STD-1553 bus controller to control the gun that is installed on the to Australian Army Reconnaissance Helicopters. A conventional PC was used with a MIL-STD-1553 card from DDC, however the PC was built into the training platform and it's function was only to provide the Bus Controller function. Usually the embedded computer is either a variation of a standard part or is designed specifically for the purpose. We at Allied have a standard embedded product range based on the 68HS12 series from Freescale. We have used this part in a number of programs including the provision of a Chaff and Flare Dispenser used in the Australian Blackhawk Helicopter simulators and the the Australian Navy Mk 13 Guided Missile Launcher simulators. In addition to these we supply embedded computers from RTD and Compulab plus some high quality manufacturers from Korea, Taiwan and China.

RTD provide embedded computers and many I/O interfaces for the PC/104, PC/104+, PCI/104 and PC/104e platforms. All heir boards operate over a wide temperature range of -40 to +85 deg C. Their Rugged IDAN systems use conductive cooling to further extend their operation in adverse environments.

Compulab are the premier supply of computer on a module. We have supplied large quantities of these credit card sized modules for use in various systems from Safety systems in cranes through to engine management systems in coal mining equipment.

Sealevel provide the R9 system which is designed for use in industrial applications as it combines discrete I/O, Analogue inputs and encoder inputs into the one powerful package. Along with Win CE it makes an ideal development environment. With our Scan-X software the user has a simple yet powerful scripting language for driving their applications.

Military and Avionic Interfaces

Our Military and Avionic interfaces include:

MIL-STD-1553 Data Bus

Ethernet (militarized)

Fibre Channel (militarized)

ARINC 429

MIL-STD-1397 (NTDS)

Synchro / Resolver

USB Synchronous Tactical Radio Interfaces

Underwater Telephones

Doppler Sonar Velocity Logs

SSPC (Solid State Power Controllers)

Motor Control Modules

We have been supplying these interfaces since 1983 and have also been involved in the development of parts and systems for use in the F-111, F/A18 and Hawk projects, S-70-B (RAN Seahawk), ARH-70 (Australian Army's Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter) and Australian Government Customs Coastwatch Aircraft to name a few. We have extensive knowledge on their use and we have and are still designing hardware and software.

Industrial Products

Sealevel is our premier supplier for all of these products although we also supply panel PC's and Touch Screen Displays from our suppliers in Asia.

ADS Products

We have been designing products for many years for many customers. Most of our customers are repeat customers as they have found that we are a company that ensures that the development meets their requirements, is well priced and that we supplied reliable products. Some of the products/systems we have developed are:
